LIVE THREAD! President and Laura Bush: Larry King Live 8/12

8/12/04

[Timeout]

George and Laura Bush to be on with Larry King for the full hour tonight. I don't usually watch LKL because of his lame questions. But it should be interesting.

[Peach]

That's weird. Is the show still on in your area? Just got over here.

[Semper Paratus]

Well LK is better than Dan Rather who in his interview with the Clintons drooled over them by saying he thought they were terrific.

"Nothin' better than being out on the campaign trail with your daughters."

[arasina]

The only thing bad about the entire interview was that I actually had to (gag) watch CNN! :o)

[StarFan]

FABULOUS INTERVIEW that was much too short.

[Attn to Detail]

yea, but W showed class with his answers!

[arbee4bush]

Hit every slimeball questions right out of the park.

I didn't see him run away from the Tax Code. I think he stated that all options should be looked at and that he wants taxes to be lower.

[StarFan]

Show ended one minute ago.

[Peach]

He did GREAT! If he's that relaxed and well spoken during the debates, it's over for sKerry.

[BobS]

"They are both sounding very calm, very strong. Especially the 1st Lady."

Very defined in policy. No "nuances". I know where they are by the building seen through the window in back.

Wonderful interview - I got so involved, I forgot to watch the thread. God bless GWB and his lovely wife. And, God bless the USA!

[WhiteGuy]

Hey !

You guys are missing Most Extreme Elimination Challenge!

[ride the whirlwind]

That did go by fast, didn't it?

It would be really interesting to know what FDR did in the first 7 minutes after Pearl Harbor was attacked. I don't recall him jumping into a fighter plane and heading for Oahu. And since hillary thinks Eleanor has some ESP talents, why wouldn't Roosevelt have stopped it?

He did not talk about it because the average CNN watcher has no idea what any of that would mean.

Relax. A national sales tax is a dead issue until after the election...and it should be. He did not throw it out.
He said it was interesting.

That fact is....even for a lot of Republicans....the idea scares folks....and it could cost him an election.
If he does not win....we will never even get to the debate on the National Sales Tax.

One thing at a time. This is politics...and the game must be played. If it is not played...then we lose more than just the White House.

[OkiMusashi]

That was awesome.

[Peach]

Did you ever hear LK ask about Bush being effusive in his praise of Clinton during the unveiling of the portrait?

I thought the president handled that unveiling very well and talked about Clinton's enthusiasm for the job of president, but LK had to frame it in a way that will tick off conservatives.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

President Bush did GREAT!!! He was relaxed, amiable and charming.

But someone should tell Larry King to STOP INTERRUPTING EVERY TIME ANYONE OPEN'S THEIR MOUTH!!!

[Dolphy]

The President was fantastic and Larry King (who is only known for his softball interviews) was a complete, antagonistic ass.

Lovely Laura has CLASS; Terayysha has opinions. I'm opinionated about her being opinionated and classLESS. She may speak 5 languages and have loads of $$$, but she also has very bad taste in clothes and husband.
